Of the five arrests, three were on charges of delivery of methamphetamine, and one was for possession of marijuana and felon in possession of a firearm.

The makings of meth labs, plus marijuana, weapons and two vehicles were seized.

The initiative was organized because of the tips received from citizens, merchants and law enforcement agencies. According to a media release from BAYANET, officers will continue to make the public and merchants aware of what to watch to help catch people involved in making the drug - including people buying or stealing large quantities of cold medicine, or a strange smell in the neighborhood - in the form of posters and other information.

This is the latest in a continuing effort to combat the manufacture of meth in the area, with busts coming as recent as August, involving mobile labs and labs inside homes.
